Katie Baker back big for Grizzlies

Working on women’s basketball preview for next week before heading off to a hockey game. No doubt we’ll stumble into a number of things to share with you on this post, so keep checking back.

Swishappeal website looks at Gonzaga and star Courtney Vandersloot, who is doing a blog for the GU website. Speaking of blogs, Eastern sharpshooter Kayla Evans is reviving hers and it's quite well done. I believe I tweeted (SRtrim) in the past that Northern Arizona senior Jenna Gallway (Ferris) is also writing.

Sometime today the West Coast Conference will shock us with the announcement that Gonzaga is favored to win the WCC championship, as the Bulldogs have done the past six seasons. Any guesses to who will join Vandersloot on the preseason all-league team?

Montana had it’s intrasquad scrimmage last night and Katie Baker (LakeCity) was back in full force (read what coach Robin Selvig said here about Baker before the game, plus check this out on the baseball nut coach), 25 points in a losing effort. Her first game since blowing an ACL at Eastern last year. Unfortunately, no sign of Misty Atkinson (Clarkston), who has battled injuries her whole career.

An honor for Montana State senior and Pullman grad Jamie Thornton that probably never made news in this area last spring.
